CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers has everyone asking: will Dr. Penny Escobar turn into a full-time character? While only the producers of the show know the answer to that, it’s safe to say that the shady doctor will be sticking around for some time to come. Here’s what you need to know!
Actress Monica Ruiz, who plays Penny on the hit CBS soap, hinted that because the producers gave her character both a first and last name – which doesn’t always happen in the world of soaps – that was a clear indication to her that Penny would be sticking around for some time to come.
CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Will Penny Escobar Turn Into A Full-Time Character?
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the actress says, “It’s been exciting. I thought this was going to be a quick little thing, just a couple of lines, but to get more of a story and flesh out a character, it has been great.”

What’s more, Monica says that there’s a nice little connection between her alter ego’s name Penny. She continued, “You know what’s so weird is that I have two boys. And before I knew if I was going to have a boy or a girl the second time around I said, ‘I don’t know why, but I think the name Penny is so cute. If it’s a girl, should we name her Penelope?’ It was so strange, and when B&B told me the doctor’s name was Penny, I was like, ‘What? That was my girl’s name! It was so funny, like somewhere in my mind, this came back. Maybe it was a premonition, because it’s not a typical name. Either way, it was just meant to be.”
With that said, it’s no doubt that fans can’t wait to find out what will happen when the show comes back on the air. Seeing how Penny knocked the lights out of Flo Fulton (Katrina Bowden), we have a feeling that she is going to have a lot of explaining to do if she doesn’t want to end up behind bars!
